The so-called "Panera" was about 200 years old and was the second tallest spruce in Switzerland: 47.63m! It had to be felled on December 12, 2018 with great sympathy from the population as a safety precaution. The fir was named "Panera" because of its shape. The broad, spreading branches are reminiscent of a bread rack: Romansh "panera".

Brilliant barbecue area with wood and partly covered tables, benches, toilet, fountain and little play equipment at what was once the second highest spruce in Switzerland. Fantastically beautiful!
